Question mark or period?

Is this sentence a question or a statement (or other). It ends with a question, so I used a question mark. (Just ignore the tech jargon.)

I get that this should show me the PID of the SIGTERMing process and I successfully compiled it, but how do I use it?

Edit: Another question, should it be written as (which is correct and which is clearer?)

I get that this should show me the PID of the SIGTERMing process and successfully compiled it, but how do I use it?

Solution 1:

This is simply a question with some preamble. I welcome preamble in order to set some context to the question.

To answer the second question, you could at least change "get" with "understand".
